Research direction
Start with the root CMakeLists file and the test suite setup described in the issue, then inspect how EXERCISM_RUN_ALL_TESTS controls compilation. Verify whether each test suite can compile and run without that definition, and confirm that CI exercises those targets successfully.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
This was brought up in #234.
It would seem that at least the one test suite wouldn't compile without defining EXERCISM_RUN_ALL_TESTS, as the test suite used a global variable that was unused on the first test and everything else was #ifdef'd out. We should consider modifying the root CMakeLists file to compile a new test target for every test without that defined just to make sure we still pass the tests. It's a bad experience if they can't use just the initial test in the test suite.
